⚠️Company directors upgraded part way through the year: The director will receive the full allowance again unless a setting is changed in TELUS Farm Payroll. This must be done before the first payroll. Find out more.
⚠️My ePay Window: To avoid creating a duplicate My ePay Window account and before you publish. The support team will have to configure your account to accept a connection from TELUS Farm Payroll. Contact the migrations team at farmplansupport@telusagcg.com to start the process. This should be at least 7 working days before you publish using My ePay Window.
⚠️Pension Year to dates: These will need to be added to the employee pension in the employee record. Employee record > Pension > Click edit pension > Pension YTDs > Edit Opening Balances.
⚠️Average holiday calculation: The upgrade tool brings across the cumulative values, this is not enough to calculate the average holiday rate. In order for the system to do this you will need to add in pay history.
This check looks at the pay period for each pay frequency
How to check
Create any SSP payments manually.
If paying an employee SSP in Keytime Payroll, you must enter the absence into TELUS Farm Payroll.
Click on the Employees menu and select an employee in the list to open the employee details, then select the Leave tab.
Click Add Leave and choose Type – Sick Leave on the displayed screen and input the first day of the current period of sickness in the From field and the last day of the sickness period in the To field and change Payment to Statutory Pay. If you wish to pay the employee their regular pay, leave Payment as Pay as usual and amend the Average Weekly Earnings if required.
How to make changes
The amount of SSP shown may be incorrect if you have already paid some of it in Earnie; you will need to adjust the amount of SSP the next time you process payroll. Pick the relevant employee in the list displayed on the Payroll | Payslips screen to view a summary of their current payroll; select the SSP row and tick the Override the calculated value box to alter the amount displayed in the New Value field.
❗We strongly recommend that you parallel run TELUS Farm Payroll with Earnie for at least one payroll period after the upgrade. If this is not possible, check the first period’s figures thoroughly.
